It's so fluffy...
Hiya. Crazy weekend. Double sleepover. Watched Despicable Me for the second time. Wandered around the park and snapped a million photos of each other. And yeah. I'll post something a little more coherent later but it's early in the morning and I'm off to paint the cry room in the church... I'll leave you with this picture.

10 seconds of fame for you
So I just submitted my magazine design for TAFE. It looks something like this.
For those of you that know of Picture Poetry's existence, there's a bigger, better version of it there. Hmm. I didn't really ask Justin or Katherine permission to use their pictures for the cover but I don't think they'll mind :)

oh we don't notice any time pass ... we don't notice anything....
La la la, long weekend.
So we helped the Deligiorgakis's move on Saturday. It all happened amazingly fast and neat! Well done everyone.
Sunday and Monday were awesome. 25 hours of The Katherine and Justin Show, 4 movies, 3 milkshakes, 2 a.m bedtime, 1 tricycle, and way too much food. Good weekend? I think so.
I'll start with moving day.
Got the Deli's at about 8, and the truck arrived right after. Spent a good portion of the morning sorting out all Karen's books with Beth and trying to figure out a solution to the books-to-shelf-space ratio problem we appeared to be having.
Oh, and enjoying their new living room rug:
These three promptly dove upon it the second it got laid down, to make sure they got to test it before they coffee table was put in place. I think the new rug has their approval.
I can't remember why Justin put his hand over Beth's mouth ... might've been trying to stop her talking while I took the picture....
Anyway. While Beth and I sorted the books on one shelf Justin and Katherine busied themselves attempting to put all the DVD's onto the other shelf. They didn't think it out very logically. Ended up putting ALL of them on the shelf and then took them ALL off again to sort them alphabetically. Silly kiddies.
And yeah. Arrived home that evening and watched Old Dogs with the family. Low expectations = hilariously funny film. That's how it's done.
Moving onto Sunday and Monday, I shall begin with a detailed account of the food us three persons (Justin, Katherine, and myself) consumed over the space of the 25 hours we were together. It was quite epic.
At 5pm on Sunday Katherine and her parents arrived at our house for dinner. Dinner consisted of:
Dinner was followed afterward by:
At 10 a.m that morning I made French toast with maple syrup, and for lunch we had hot chips with ketchup. Yes that's right, Heinz tomato ketchup. Not tomato sauce. Munched on some apples during more Little Big Planet. Thoroughly enjoyed the array of vegetation and cheese mother produced later that afternoon when Katherine and I were snuggled on my bed watching Julie and Julia. Not that great a film, really.
Speaking of films, we watched 4 in the 25 hours and I wanted to give a short review on each, in the order we watched them.
9 was the first film we watched. 80 minutes wasted, in my opinion. I had hoped it would be better. Had wanted to see it for a long while; it seemed kind of interesting but the plot was lame and rather pointless. Long story short (or should I say, short story in a nutshell), the little sack creature 9 wakes up in a post apocalyptic, clockpunk world and goes searching for others. He meets 2, and 2 gets captured by a mechanical beast. 9 is discovered by 5, who takes him to meet all the others. 1 is the leader of the group and leads in fear, so he basically sucks at being a leader. 9 and 5 defy him and go to try and rescue 2. Upon rescuing him with the help of 7 who kills the beast, 2 is killed by a second, larger beast that 9 awakens. Got all that?
*SPOILER FOLLOWS*
The entire rest of the film involves most of the characters being killed off by this beast. 1 and 7 eventually destroy it and free all the souls of their dead friends from the belly of the monster. I had expected their friends to come back to life but instead their souls float up to heaven. The film ends with 7 saying, 'They're free now.' Fade out. Bor-ing. Don't watch it.
The second film was The Island. I quite liked this one. Appreciated the cinematography and the general mood of the movie. I can't say much about the plot because it gives away the movie, but it's essentially a sci-fi thriller starring Ewan McGregor (LOVE) and Scarlett Johansson (HATE).
Basically in this movie Ewan McGregor, named Lincoln 6-Echo, questions his safe, enclosed environment to the point of annoying the antagonist enough that he wants to kill him. That sounds dumb but you have to see the movie, okay?!
Scarlett Johansson plays the best friend turned love interest ... yeah I know, I don't like her either.
BUT Ewan McGregor saves the world, so that's why you should see it.
Third film of the night was Psycho. Do I need to explain this one? It's Alfred Hitchcock! Very famous, very clever, and very creepy. Grab some friends and go watch it.
Final film was Julie and Julia. Meh. I mean, it was a film about food. So I wanted a bit more 'wow' factor when it came to the dishes that were incorporated into the actual plot. I also felt a bit like Julie Powell's mother concerning Julie's blog - 'No one cares!' It was a bit boring. I think Katherine fell asleep at one point. It wasn't a bad movie, just not my kind of film. Especially after watching movies such as The Island and Psycho, it was a bit bland. But Meryl Streep was good, if you like Meryl Streep.
Anyway, back to Monday. After lunch we had an epic time doing the kind of stuff we Stanmore kids do on a regular basis, of course, such as...
Taking the Ford Anglia for a spin
Driving a bus
And doing crazy stunts
As you do. Yep, just a typical day in the life of me. :)

- A huge salad of lettuce, cucumber, capsicum, carrots, tomatoes and feta cheese
- A choice of both beef and lamb (we all had both, of course)
- Cooked veggies - potatoes, pumpkin, eggplant and capsicum
Dinner was followed afterward by:
- Milk and chocolate chip cookies from Aldi, eaten in the duration of the movie 9
- Popcorn - popped sometime in the middle of The Island
- Strawberry and chocolate milkshakes, made by me halfway through The Island
- Sour lollipops - given to us by Jackie, and sucked on whilst playing Little Big Planet
- Peanut butter slathered heavily on thick-cut bread - consumed at about 1am during Psycho - apparently too thickly for Katherine's liking!

Partners in Crime
After church today Katherine game over to my house to watch movies and play the Wii with me and Justin. I had to leave early for youth group because I'm in the band. Due to the freezing cold weather, the warm house and 30 minutes left of the movie we were watching, neither Justin nor Katherine wanted to accompany me, so I left them to it while I braved the cold youth room in my winter coat.
I was of half a mind to drag them with me, but they looked so cozy on the couch; I decided against in the end, even though a little voice in my head was telling me they were sure to get up to some kind of mischief in my absence despite the brief amount of time there was.
Upon arriving at youth group our friend Daniel asked me where they were. He laughed when I told him and said, 'Have they trashed the house yet?' I shook my head, which prompted him to reply with, 'They're sure to trash something before they get here.'
Sure enough, the two of them bounced up the stairs together while the band was still practicing. When we finished I went to join them.
They were whispering together; two guilty faces looked up and eyed me as I approached.
'Erin,' Justin began, 'we sort of - '
He didn't get to finish his sentence because Katherine threw her arms around me and blurted, 'We're sorry! We're sorry! It was just in fun! We feel so terrible!'
'What did you do?' I demanded. After she released her hold, they began to explain how the movie had finished with twenty minutes to spare before they had to leave, so they'd come up with the clever little plan of adorning my facebook status with the words 'I smell like a baboon's butt' and altering my profile picture to said baboon's butt. What amuses me most is that apparently Katherine would 'still love me' if this were a true fact.
I was laughing because they felt so bad about what they'd done. Apparently mum had discovered their mischief and made them feel incredibly guilty in the car on the way up. Hence their jumpy entrance.
I've deleted it now but you may have been one of the 'lucky' few who saw the baboon, such as Beth, who commented with 'I just vomited a little in my mouth.' My apologies, Beth. I know now not to leave them alone in the house together with my computer nearby! Needless to say, I still love them. :)

Crazy Kids
Here's the video of us crazy kids at the park from Sunday night... being silly after drinking too much sugar! :)
April 26, 2010
Are you ready, are you ready for this? Are you hanging on the edge of your seat?
You know you had an epic sleepover when:
Oh these two... they're crazy, but that's why I love them. Thanks for an awesome night kiddies.
- The person you invited to sleepover brings homemade brownies that her sister made (I love you Beth)
- You eat the brownies, but then dinner is too far away so you cook a whole pack of wedges and frequently pause the PS3 to eat them.. fighting over the last ones
- You play COD til the screaming gets so loud your parents kick you outside...
- ...so you go to get Slurpees
- You play crazy games of spinning around in circles in the park in the dark... AFTER drinking Slurpees and eating brownies and wedges
- Walking home you pretend that the group of people walking down the street in front of you are actually a group of drooling zombies going to kill you
- You decide not to go home but to keep walking up the hill and rent Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat from Network Video
- You dance up the hill singing Another One Bites the Dust
- You run home and are so psyched you can't eat dinner ... even though it's already 8:30pm
- You videotape yourselves on with nightvision, being idiots in the backyard, playing that crazy spinning game again til one of you nearly falls off the patio onto the carport
- You get so dizzy you stack it and almost put your hand on the mint your brother spat out on the wet grass in the previous round...
- You take cold showers in quick succession, then snuggle on the couch in pjs to watch the movie
- You finally decide you're all hungry at 10pm, so reheat dinner and eat during the movie
- After the movie you play COD til midnight
- You fall asleep in the middle of a conversation....

♥ One joy shatters a hundred griefs.... ♥
I walked home in the pouring rain with my lovely Katherine and Justin today. After a hot morning's work at the manse the rain was just glorious. We must've been a sight, traipsing down the sidewalk, drenched to the bone and grinning ear-to-ear at Justin's hair, which, with a mixture of water and sweat, stuck straight up in the air when he ran his fingers through it. Everyone else was huddling under soggy umbrellas or pelting down the street to get indoors. We didn't mind the rain. Liked it, actually. Had hot showers in quick succession the moment we got in the door.
Never mind the heartache that I felt the other day. The joy I felt this afternoon, being with two people very close to my heart ... it outshines any loss. Here's to a new year. I'm looking forward to the many little joys 2010 is sure to bring me.

Saturday....
Took Juliette to basketball today. She's seven years old. I forgot how many questions seven-year-olds ask: What bus are we taking home? How do we get to the bus? How long is the bus trip? What's your favorite kind of chocolate? When does the bus come? What's that? How long til we get home? Where are we now? What does that say? Did you see that? Why's that sign there? Do we get off at the next stop? What's your favorite colour? Is this our stop? Do we have to walk down that street to get home now?
And so on, and so forth... It was a long morning. But good. And I made money, so then I got to go dress shopping with one of my most favorite people in the world! =D Though I probably drove her crazy trying to find a dress for my formal. I'm terrible at clothes shopping. I don't know what I want, I just know what I don't want.... Sorry Katie! It's okay. We found a dress, finally ... its blue! I like it.
Came home through Newtown ... on Halloween. So weird! We saw a horse-drawn carriage with steampunk-style goths riding it for a funeral. Kinda cool. Also a guy dressed in ragged clothes with fake blood all over his face, staggering down the street like a zombie ... I worked out that I don't really want to be in Newtown when it gets dark. That's when the vampires come out....
Got back and played Raving Rabbids with Katherine, Jono, Dan and Justin. SO MUCH FUN!! They stayed for dinner and we got slurpies after. Now watching Terminator 2 with Katherine and Justin. I love you guys.
Oh, and NaNoWriMo starts in 2 hours!!!!!!!!! Can't wait. ^_^
